is there a whatsapp group for the run outs?

@DannyTGSSome of us do  use it to help finding each other (stationary or moving), however mobile data isn't so good in a lot of places in the Peaks. 

 

It can also help when in convoys to see if all make it through roundabouts/traffic lights etc.

 

You'll be impressed in @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  non digital navigation aids and her skills in finding great, quiet roads away from the busy areas are legendary! She does a cracking job!

If all the stars align and the gods are appeased, it’s vaguely possible that we might be able to join you at lunch time. Where are you aiming to be and roughly what time?

[Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO]

Ok 10 mile test run done with everything as it should be, tank filled, I’ll be there 😃

No Margaret though🙁

[Glynn Walters]

There’s a good chance I’ll make it👍

I'm pretty good with convoys and keeping my eye where people are going even if traffic between us from my old car cruising days, but the live location can be useful for sure, my google maps says its an hour and a half going the road way, id prefer to take 15min longer and use that route than sit on the M6 i think so ill set off just before 8.30am and knowing my "Abiding the speed limits speedo that i swear isn't accurate" I should make it on time lol

It’s an hour and a half for me too, 53 miles from Sunny Oldham👍

So your doing the A6 through High lane, chapel into Buxton?

 

But are you aiming for the 10am meet point?

 

If so I could continue up the airport link road and meet you at the Royal Oak, Buxton Rd, High Lane, Stockport SK6 8AY at 9am?

3 hours 13 for me, and Birmingham is in the flipping way 😂 and my turbo is off the car, so basically nil pois

My route is M60, M 57, Glossop, Hayfield, Buxton.

so how about the Aldi near Chapel En le Frith about five past nine ish?

it’s just off the A6 at the roundabout.

my phone number is 07715036769 if we add each other to WhatsApp we could use live location to keep an eye on where we are.

what colour is your car?
